Two Nevermore members had solo albums released this year, first one being Warrel Dane, the band's vocalist, and the second one Jeff Loomis, currently the band's only guitarist. While Warrel Dane experimented with the music, creating a Gothic album, Jeff pretty much remained faithful to the sound of his primary band, Nevermore. The sort of thrashy riffs and good and varied solos are still here on this instrumental CD called Zero Order Phase, which substantially reveals the versatile talent of Jeff Loomis.
